Those all look awesome (and impressively loud)! But none of them have 'button A = horn, button B = bicycle bell for pedestrians'. Any other thoughts?

Best electric bell / horn?

Looking for a 2-in-1 (if it exists) bike horn (for cars) and bike-warning (for pedestrians) that I can operate from an electric button on my handlebars.

Anything out there?

If you're racing, it's debatable these days but I'd say the 23's have a very slight margin.

In comfort the 25's have a wide margin.

2mm means roughly (25/23)^2 -1 = 18% more volume. On top of that with the increased volume and distance from the rim you can run lower pressure, say, 10 or so psi lower. It'll ride a lot smoother.
